Real-time Visualization
The image of your Model S on the Suspension screen
provides a real-time visualization of the status of the air suspension system. In addition to visually showing changes to the ride height, it displays Compression and Rebound lines that
reflect how the suspension system is
controlling the dampers for each wheel based on your
chosen settings and changing road conditions. Both are controlled simultaneously. Touch
Show Suspension Data
to display detailed information about the dampers for
each wheel, including ride height, compression and
rebound values, and body accelerations.
Auto-Raising Locations
Whenever you raise the suspension to High or Very
High, the location is automatically saved. By saving the
location, you do not need to manually raise the
suspension every time you arrive at a frequently-used location where you have previously raised the
suspension. When you return to the saved location,
Model S raises the suspension and the instrument panel
displays a message indicating that the suspension is being raised.
When saving locations, Model S also saves the Keep until
XX mph setting (if specified).
NOTE: When returning to a saved location and driving
faster than the
High and Very High suspension settings
allow, the suspension does not raise until
Model S slows
down.
NOTE: After leaving a saved location, the suspension
automatically lowers. However, it may not lower until
Model S meets the speed and distance threshold at
which the suspension lowers.
NOTE: If Model S reaches a saved location and the
existing suspension setting is already higher than the level that has been saved for that location, the ride height is not adjusted.
To remove an auto-raising location
If you do not want the suspension to automatically raise
at a location, touch to deselect
Always raise at this
location in the popup that appears when you arrive at a
saved location.
Or, when using the Raise Suspension
shortcut on the main Controls window, touch to deselect
Location Saved.
Self-Leveling
Model S equipped with air suspension automatically self-
levels, even when power is
off. To prevent damage when
jacking or lifting the vehicle, you must activate
Jack
Mode to disable self-leveling (press the brake pedal and
touch
Controls > Service > Jack Mode). For more
details, see
Jack Mode on page 184.
